The Himalayan rock salt lamp is hygroscopic; meaning that it reduces the moisture content that airborne particles and bacteria need to survive. These lamps actually generate negative ions, which have been scientifically proven to enhance human health, the environment and overall well being.
There are four major salt mines located in the Himalayan mountains, including: Khewra Salt Mine, Kalabagh Salt Mine, Warcha Salt Mine and the Jatta/Bahadurkheil Salt Mine. Out of these mines, the material needed to hand-shape the Himalayan Salt Lamp are mined.
There are many different styles of Salt Lamps available, including: Naturals (hand shaped and made from the most potent salt crystal. They vary in size and colors range from apricot to peach to deep/fiery orange/red.) Animals (tropical fish, duck, cats, dogs, horse head, frog, elephant, rabbit, bull, monkey, swan, and many more), Crafted (pyramid, double-heart, maple leaf, sphere, mushroom, Himalayan sunrise, cross and many more) and Specials (wrought iron lamps, salt globe and tri-globe).
You can find these salt lamps are made of unique colors, including: white, pink, peach, apricot and many shades of red and orange. The lamps are sold by style and weight, depending on your personal preference.
Every Himalayan lamp is unique. Colors will vary and they are all hand-made, so each style is a little unique, too. Fissures and cracks found in the salt will also affect the shape of the lamp.
They are more popular than salt lamps out of Europe because the salt from the Himalayans is known to have energy, color and translucency that far surpasses salt mined anywhere else.
